I think sometimes time acts like an
accordion, it expands and shrinks with each moment. It seemed like
such a short and long time at the same time while we were gone. It
feels like we have been gone forever, but only a moment. We flew in
overnight from the states, something I will never advise to other
people! We were very grateful for one of the Senior couples in the
capitol who rescued us at the airport and let us stay with them to
shop, sleep and visit! We would definitely not have been able to
drive back out here without that interlude. We are grateful to be
back at work, checking on families, filling out future missionary
paperwork, helping prepare for District conference. We are having a
battle with the bugs though at the moment, I hope they are NOT enjoying it as much as I am! That part is not fun, but the trade off
of being here is amazing. One of the best parts today was when two
of our sweet neighborhood girls showed up and went to market with me
this morning and then helped bake a cake. It is so much fun to play
with them. While we were at the market we checked on Rosie and she
had on her glasses, sitting up by herself, playing with her toys and
even stood up for a few minutes for me!
Now I need to unpack and get things
cleaned and back in order. Our landlady had come in while we were
gone and cleaned the pila, and the back room because she didn't want
it to be dirty when we got back home. They have open windows and due
to the rain and wind had had debris blow in. We are well cared for
by our wonderful members.
